They have now published their put annual list of The World's Highest-Paid Musicians . . . and not surprisingly, U2 came out on top. Again.

From May of last year to last month, U2 raked in $195 million, which is up from the $130 million that they pulled down the year before, when they were also ranked #1.

BON JOVI came in second with $125 million.

Forbes calculates their numbers by compiling pre-tax profits on stuff like concert dates, merchandise sales, licensing fees, music sales, and publishing royalties . . . but almost everyone on the list made the bulk of their money from touring.
